Uddingston provide hockey festival for Lanarkshire schools
Uddingston Hockey Club have announced that the club will be running two school hockey tournaments on 1 & 3 December at their new purpose built water-based pitch at Uddingston Cricket & Sports Club.
The club will have up to 600 children playing hockey over the two days all from Primary 6. The festival has had to be held over two days due to the growth in the club’s school programme where 15 primary schools regularly receive coaching over the course of the year.
The festival is celebrating the hard work pupils have put in during the first two terms of the academic year practicing hockey during curricular class PE sessions.
Games played during two hour sessions in the morning (9:30-11:30am) and afternoon (12:00-2:00pm).
There are 12 schools involved from both North and South Lanarkshire:
- Bothwell Primary School
- Muiredge Primary School
- St. John the Baptist Primary School
- St. Brides Primary School
- St. Mary’s Primary School
- Aitkinhead Primary School
- Tannochside Primary School
- Hamilton college Primary School
- Fernhill Primary School
- Thorntree Primary School
- Wellshot Primary School
- QuarryBrae Primary School
The club would like to take the opportunity to thank all the schools and teachers for their help and support during 2015.
